PLENARY PACK
During my first term of teacher training, I struggled with the concept of the importance of a lesson plenary. With research, I discovered that a good plenary has the ability to highlight not only the good parts of my lessons but the common misconceptions within the class surrounding the topic. In short, I found it is the student’s way of assessing my teaching informally!
•
I made these clipboard plenary’s with placement Nóra in mind, if I had these during my teacher training it would have been very easy for me to quickly grab one and ask the children contribute.
•
Credit to my lecture for the majority of these ideas! I just took ideas I had been shown or heard classmates talk about and designed them on mini clipboards and added clipart so they could be accessible to the children too.
•
This pack comes with 23 cards in PDF format! •

Our Wonder Wall
“OUR WONDER WALL”
I had this idea out running one day, I wanted a way to positively reinforce kindness, sharing and caring traits in my students and by allowing them to fill this wall up by writing on the limited brick outlines with whiteboard markers I hope to highlight the importance of being a good person.
At the start of the year, the wall will be clean and empty, as the children show can kindness, caring and sharing traits I will allow them to write on one of the bricks for the class to see. One the class have filled up the wall I can only imagine that a reward would be well deserved. I made my wall quite big on purpose to let the children chip away at it each term.
This wall will allow all students to strive in the project of showing kindness regardless of their academic, sporting or musical ability which in my opinion I find the three most commonly awarded traits in children in schools.

“Nevertheless We Persisted”
“Nevertheless We Persisted”- This is my take on a “Wow work wall” I love this saying and can’t wait to teach persistence to my class! My idea is that under this heading I will display a range of the children’s work of utter effort & determination not just work that is commonly seen as “the best”. Each child has their own definition of “the best” that they can produce and I can’t wait to honour all of those abilities groupings.

The ”what will I do now teacher?” pack.
The ”what will I do now teacher?” extension pack! This resource is one I made with a range of learners in mind!
•
This pack includes seven task areas which children can work on after the main lesson task work has been complete and they wait for the other students to finish up! Total of 28 task cards.
•
During my placement, I found that children liked a more creative extension challenge rather than a worksheet! (I bought a pack of 300 envelopes in euro giant on placement and honestly, they absolutely loved the idea of sending letters to their friends in the class as extensions, very cheap and easy!) So these cards are to combat that worksheet kind of boredom I found!
•
I focused on; writing, reading, number, wellbeing, drawing, designing and list-making tasks!

“MINI MINDFULNESS MOMENTS”
“MINI MINDFULNESS MOMENTS”
Handy brain breaks for lesson transitions.
•
Keeping the children’s mental wellbeing positive in school is a main priority for me, little tasks like these throughout the day should help them clear their heads before the next lesson!
•
Loads of love & don’t forget to take your own little mindfulness moment today and every day
•
I have to give credit to my lectures, fellow PGCE students and Twinkl for some of the ideas but the majority of these amazing ideas I got from the Tes account @yesmissdaniel such a beautiful FREE resource available on her Tes shop if you would rather a different design definitely check her out
